I have a wchar_t I'd like to convert to a string. The string should then be read using stringstream. I have looked converting it over here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235631(v=vs.80).aspx but none of them return anything useable with stringstream. I'm not very experienced with coding so I'm probably missing something really simple.
Thanks in advance!

If you do actually need a string from a wchar_t* then you will first need to convert the wchar_t* to a char*. There are various methods to do this depending on what compiler you are using. The simplest way is to use wcstombs() but there are caveats with that. Here is a good discussion on the matter, with some solutions that might inspire you http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/threads/87362.
However you can just use wstring directly with wchar_t* as @Space_C0wb0y has mentioned. If that is what you are looking for please mark his answer as correct.
